Mid-regional pro-A-type natriuretic peptide (MRproANP) seems to be non-inferior compared to B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) for heart failure diagnosis and prognosis; however, no previous studies have investigated the MRproANP in-hospital changes in prognostic role. This study aimed to compare the prognostic accuracy of BNP and MRproANP in-hospital changes in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) patients.
37 patients with either admission/pre-discharge BNP and MRproANP data, were investigated. The combined endpoint was cardiovascular death/heart transplantation/readmission for HF.
BNP and MRproANP had a median decrease of 55% [72;45] and 21% [40; 11] respectively in event-free patients; BNP decrease of 34% [48; 29] but MRproANP increase of 4% [-7; 25] in patients with cardiovascular events. Prognostic accuracy of deltaBNP and deltaMRproANP was similar.
MRproANP basically trends up in patients with worse outcome and decreases in event-free patients, likely leading to a simpler interpretation although the prognostic accuracy is similar for both peptides.
中段心房利钠肽原(MRproANP)在心力衰竭诊断和预后评估方面似乎不劣于B型利钠肽(BNP);然而,此前尚无研究探讨MRproANP在院内的预后作用变化。本研究旨在比较BNP和MRproANP在急性失代偿性心力衰竭(ADHF)患者院内变化的预后准确性。
对37例有入院时/出院前BNP和MRproANP数据的患者进行研究。联合终点为心血管死亡/心脏移植/因心力衰竭再次入院。
无事件患者中,BNP和MRproANP的中位数分别下降55%[72;45]和21%[40;11];发生心血管事件的患者中,BNP下降34%[48;29],而MRproANP上升4%[-7;25]。ΔBNP和ΔMRproANP的预后准确性相似。
MRproANP在预后较差的患者中基本呈上升趋势,在无事件患者中下降,尽管两种肽的预后准确性相似,但这可能导致其解释更简单。
